Is Human Superior Than Animals?

Mahabharat says :

ahaAra-nidra-bhaya-maithunam ca.
samanyam etat pasubhih naranam .
dharmo hi tesam adhiko viseso .
dharmena hina pasubhih samanah .

Four common things for animals and human beings.
1.Ahara- eating .
2.Nidra - sleeping .
3.Bhayam- having shelter or house for protection from fear.
4. Maithunam- Sex .

Srila Prabhupada.

Extra quality with human beings is the dharma or his duty to inquire about the absolute truth or God. The dharma of every human being is to understand what he is, who God is, the relationship between him and God,and to engage in rendering loving service to God.

Therefore a human being is superior than animals only when they inquire about the Absolute truth,otherwise they are considered just like animals.

7. Tatha prithvi-the earth is also our mother.

Srila Prabhupada
According to Vedic civilization, anyone who supplies milk from the body, she is mother. So cow is mother because we are drinking her milk. So from that point of view, one cannot kill cow.

If a boy wants to understand, "Who is my father?" the only authority is the mother. Vedic literature is considered to be the mother. She gives evidence that God or Lord Krishna is our father.

Is there any life after death?

Bhagavad Gita says-we are eternal spirit souls and we get another material body after death.

BG 2.13: As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.

BG 2.22: As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.
